New Amiga CEO : Comment 201 of 254 | ANN.lu |
Posted by takemehomegrandma on 27-Apr-2003 17:30 GMT | In reply to Comment 191 (MarkTime): @ MarkTime
This *could* be what has happened:
1. Amino wants to aquire the Amiga trademark. They need money to do so, money from venture capitalists. They show a business plan with a lot of hype in the good spirit of dot com startups from that time. They get a company founded.
2. After several years it becomes clear to everyone that the amino team failed to live up to the owners expectations. They failed miserably. The owners decide that this can not go on any further.
3. The owners hire a new CEO with the mission to try to save what can be saved of their invested money. He is to do the best of the miserable situation.
4. In steps Genesi. Genesi is in a late stage of their startup process, most of the obstacles has allready been overcome, and they have an ever growing momentum. Genesi allready have products in the pipeline which is very suitable for release under the Amiga brand. Genesi speaks to the new CEO and Amiga Incs big owners: "perhaps there is no need to liquidate, perhaps there is still a chance to actually make something good out of this instead of just rip out what's left and pull the plug."
In a worst case scenario Genesi will resume it's lawsuit towards Amiga Inc, which they will win IMO, and thus be able to use the Amiga brand on Pegasos through the integration of Amiga DE. In a best case scenario Genesi will reach an agreement with Amiga Inc's owners and aquire control over (or the right to use) the Amiga IP such as the classic OS and brand.
Think about it; MorphOS=AmigaOS 5, PegasosTwo=AmigaTwo. Or whatever.
All of this is of course nothing but pure speculation from my side. But one thing is true, it will be interesting to follow the developments of this in the near future!
